to stop me.
I open my mouth to speak, but I’m silenced by another lightning bolt and crash of thunder.
“Leon!” Lucius is running across the lawn toward us. “You could have at least grabbed your coat.” He gasps as he draws near.
“We need to go inside,” Leon says, looking around quickly. “It’s too dangerous out here right now.”
“The office.” Lucius nods toward the door I just passed.
Without waiting for my input, Leon clutches the handles of my wheelchair and spins me around. If it was anyone else, I would’ve been pissed. But with him, it feels...comforting.
Lucius sprints ahead of us and opens the office door. All three of us make it safely inside before lightning illuminates the sky once again.
“Sorry for abducting you like that.” Leon winks at me as he tries to catch his breath. He’s completely soaked and water drips from him as he opens the closet beside the bathroom. “I saw you through my window, and I got worried. I thought maybe you hadn’t seen the news reports about how bad it’s supposed to be.”
“No need to apologize. I’m the idiot who went out in the middle of a torrential downpour,” I assure him, averting my gaze. “I guess I just wasn’t really thinking things through.”
It seems the letter I’d gotten had affected my judgment more than I realized.
“I don’t think I’ve got a lot of blankets in here...” Leon digs through the closet, looking for supplies. “I’ve been meaning to stock this with emergency supplies, but I haven’t had the chance.”
Lucius crosses the room and pulls a heater out of the closet. He’s silent as he works on getting it plugged in and turned on.
I haven’t spoken to Lucius since the day he confronted me about the check. At the time, I was frustrated and embarrassed. He’d interrupted me seconds before I could orgasm, my cock was aching, and I was completely naked. I had to quickly grab a robe and make up some lame excuse about getting ready to hop in the shower.
My cheeks burn as I think about it now.
At the time, I was pretty sure it was just a consequence of my pent-up horniness. My cock had been dripping with precome as he demanded to know about the check. The towel folded in my lap had hidden my erection from him, but afterward, I’d fantasized about what might have happened if I’d let him see it. I pictured him kneeling, his lips on my dick, his hands on my balls. I moaned as I thought of Leon, pinned beneath Lucius while he was sucking my cock. The two of them would be intertwined, fucking each other, fucking me.
That fantasy has become the primary reason for my near-constant arousal.
Thinking about it now makes me shift uncomfortably. What kind of alpha gets turned on by other alphas? Even if Leon and Lucius are almost mirrors of one another, it’s still...odd.
I clear my throat and try to bring myself back to reality and the situation I’m currently in.
My heart nearly stops as I lift my eyes to find Leon stripping down. He’s already dropped his shirt on the floor beside the heater and is starting on his pants.
“Leon, don’t be such a tease.” Lucius groans as he glances across the room.
“We can’t stay in these wet clothes,” Leon protests.
“Then use the blanket at least.”
“Why? Worried you’ll get turned on?” Leon slowly inches his pants down, dragging the band of his underwear along with them.
Lucius bites his lip, holding his breath as he stares at Leon.
“Did I fall out of my chair or something?” I ask, clearing my throat.
They both flinch when I speak as if they’ve forgotten I’m still in the room with them.
“I mean, because that’s the only thing that makes sense,” I continue, doing my best to fill the awkward silence. “I fell out of my chair, hit my head, and now I’m in the hospital...and they’ve got me on the good stuff.”
“Don’t worry.” Leon chuckles, but it sounds forced. He waves a hand at me as he grabs a blanket and wraps it around his shoulders. “There’s nothing weird going on. It’s kind of an inside joke, that’s all.”
Lucius nods in agreement. “Sorry if we made you uncomfortable.” He rubs the back of his head and looks away. “We’re not used to having other people around. It’s easy to forget how things might sound sometimes.”
“Once the lightning stops, we can make a run for the apartment. But until then, we’re stuck here.” Leon peers
